Sept. 4, 2009 - Ahlstrom has announced price increases on its crepe paper grades, as a consequence of the rise of raw materials and energy costs, effective today (Sept. 4)..

All products will increase in price by up to 10% depending on the nature of the products, regions, existing contracts and invoicing currencies, Ahlstrom said.

Ahlstrom's crepe papers, which are produced in France, Finland and Italy, are mainly used for masking tapes, wipes, medical sterilization wraps and other specialty applications such as table covers or food absorption pads.
